Real questions that test this

खालीलपैकी कार्बनचे ऑलॅट्रोप कुठले ते सांगा? / The allotropes of carbon are :

(a)कार्बन हलाईड्स / Carbon halides

(b)डायमंड / Diamond

(c)फुलरीन्स / Fullerenes

(d)ग्राफाइट / Graphite

(e)कॅऑईट / Chaoite

1)सर्व पर्याय योग्य / All above
2)(b), (c), (d)✓ Correct
3)(a), (b), (c)
4)(a), (b), (d)

Diamond, fullerenes, graphite, and chaoite are well-known allotropes of carbon. Carbon halides are compounds, not allotropes.

खालील दिलेल्या विधानापैकी कोणती विधाने बरोबर आहेत ? / Which of the following statements are correct ?

(a)हिरा विद्युत दुर्वाहक आहे. / Diamond is a non-conductor of electricity.

(b)ग्रॅफाइट मध्ये द्विमितीय पत्रकासारखी संरचना असते. / Graphite has a two dimensional sheet like structure.

(c)ग्रॅफाइट विद्युत वाहक आहे. / Graphite conducts electricity.

(d)खडकाला भोक पाडायला हिरा वापरतात. / Diamond is used for rock drilling.

1)वरील सर्व / All of the above✓ Correct
2)फक्त (a), (b), (c) / Only (a), (b), (c)
3)फक्त (a), (b) / Only (a), (b)
4)फक्त (b), (c) / Only (b), (c)

Diamond is a non-conductor of electricity and is used in rock drilling; graphite has a two-dimensional sheet-like structure and is a good electrical conductor.
